Seting up two routers same location

I have two verizon wireless routers westell 7500, westell 327. I also have a neighbor with a netgear router that shows up on the available networks list. I have gone through all of the basic setup requirements and changes. One or the other (router) drops off online every couple of days. This is anoying I need to be able get them set up so this does not happen, any suggestions.

I have two routers because there are three users , impossible with only one.

For example: Channel 1 on the 7500, the 327 on channel 5, the Netgear on Channel 11.

The two routers are on the first floor, center of the house.. The computers are located second floor and mine is located in the basement. No wireless house phones but here are two micro waves. One in the basement one on the 1st floor in the kitchen.

I know these devices interfere. This may seem like a stupid question but, does this interference cause the router to loose its connection to the net? I have never had the computer stop communicating with the router with the router still connected. The router always looses its connection.

I am not sure, but I would think not.

#1 If you have only have one phone number: Please make sure only one of those two Verizon routers is connected to a phone line. Having two connected to a phone line, will cause interference with each other.

#2 If you have two phone numbers. Each of the verizon modems, has to be connected to it's own phone line.

If that solves your issue, please this post of mine mark as solved.

Otherwise, see my next post.

#1 Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html﻿ and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Remove that line. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.

By Serial Number, I don't mean type in the words Serial Number. I mean find and type in the serial number found on the bottom of this router.
